Add optional native parser backend (minimal adapter) - #476

Thank you for your contribution! 👍 Looks like one step failed:

hint: While the active Python version is 3.10, the resolution failed for other Python versions supported by your project. Consider limiting your project's supported Python versions using `requires-python`.

I guess that was expected as your library isn't available yet, right?

Hi Tom,

Yes — that was expected. The optional backend wasn’t on PyPI yet when the check ran.

fast-semver-rs-backend is published now (0.1.1 / 0.1.2, abi3 / cp37-abi3 wheels so CPython including 3.15 should resolve). I re-checked locally with uv sync --all-extras --group gh-action on 3.10 and 3.15 against public PyPI only, and mirrored the same adapter in a selftest repo where the Python workflow is green (including 3.15):

https://github.com/lowmiaq-gmail/python-semver-native-selftest/actions/runs/33612477528

Whenever the fork workflow runs on the latest commits are allowed to proceed, uv sync --all-extras should get past that resolution error.

Just let me know if anything still looks off.

Looks great! 👍

I can't access the above URL, but I used this one: https://github.com/lowmiaq-gmail/fast-semver-rs/actions/runs/33606118909. 🙂

I also noticed this warning in your repo:

Backend sdist
Node.js 20 is deprecated. The following actions target Node.js 20 but are being forced to run on Node.js 24: PyO3/maturin-action@86b9d133d34bc1b40018696f782949dac11bd380. 

If I'm not mistaken, it might come from using old action steps (search for actions/...) in your workflow file. It's just a friendly reminder, it's up to you. 🙂

What's missing in this repo are:

• A newsfragment file in the changelog.d directory, see README.
• A paragraph, hint, section etc. in the documentation. I think, the Installing semver section would be appropriate.

Would you like to amend this to finish this PR or should I do it?

Hi Tom,

Glad it looks good — and thanks for approving the fork workflows; checks are green on this end too.

I’ll amend the PR with a changelog.d newsfragment and a short docs note for the optional native extra. Happy to take the Node.js 20 deprecation reminder on the backend release workflow as a follow-up outside this PR.

Thanks again!

Hi Tom,

Amend is up on this PR:

• changelog.d/pr476.feature.rst
• short “Optional Native Backend” section in docs/install.rst

Latest commit: 46a8847. Happy to tweak wording if you’d like anything shorter or differently placed.

This is great! Thank you so much for all your efforts! 😍 I'm ready to merge it. 🚀
